Monday
Not just another day.
At 8:30am the power went off. Didn't come back on until after 1pm.
Grace has been struggling with a cold over the weekend which set off her asthma. At the doctors office yesterday at 11:30. Five prescriptions later we got back home at 4:30.
By 6pm I felt like I had been up 4 days straight and could barely function.
The frightening thing about having a child with asthma - the emotional stress of watching your child struggle to breath and there is NOTHING you can do about it but wait for the medications to begin to work.
Thank you , God, for the medications available to help control and prevent asthma attacks.

Oh, poor Gracie! I hope the medicines work for her. My girl child was recently put on a new medication for her asthma and it's one of the scary ones with potentially HORRIBLE side effects, but what can you do? SHE HAS TO BREATHE, YO.
:( Sorry to hear about Gracie, hope she feels better. Hope you can both breathe easier now that the medicine is working.
I hope Gracie will recover soon, Angie. There's never a good time to have a cold - or an asthma attack.
Poor Gracie! And poor you. I'm sure it was harder on you. Asthma sucks.
I am so sorry! Are the new medications working for her? Is she feeling any better now?
This time of year is terrible for allergies. I can't imagine what it does to people with asthma!
I'm sorry - I know what you mean though my 4 year old son has asthma and any infection sets him off. It bothers me much more than it does him most of the time. Hope she feels better soon.
